UWEC

The United Way of Ellis County will have its second annual Day of Action on July 26 and, once again, the United Way is calling on our communities to help collect supplies that will benefit the partner agencies. The United Way will be accepting donations at its offices, 205 E. Seventh, Ste. 111.

Last year, the United Way used the Pacesetter Kick-off to establish their first Day of Action. They had accepted over 700 donated office supply items for the partner agencies. This year, they hope to surpass that number. Examples of items needed are: pens, staples, paper, paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenexes. For more information go to, www.liveunited.us/day-action

This year, UWEC is doing something new and different. In conjunction with their Day of Action, they will be holding a county-wide Business Campaign Kick-off on Thursday, July 26 at 4 p.m. in the Heritage Room of the Hadley Center. If your business is interested in participating in the Business Kick-off, please call 785-628-8281 for more information and to request a campaign packet.
